Wetlands are ecosystems where saturated conditions persist enough to support wetland vegetation and soils. Fens are a very special wetland that is groundwater dependent and peat accumulating. The long duration anaerobic conditions limit the decomposition of plant roots, leaves, and stems and over time this organic matter accumulates to form peat soil, making them the one of the best terrestrial carbon sinks. Fens are a unique and important part of the Upper Uncompahgre River Watershed.
Learn the basics and some intermediate concepts in felting to create a sweet picture.
